Abstract: In the process for the conversion of maleic acid to gamma-butyrolactone. 1.4-butanediol and/or tetrahydrofuran, a feedstream comprising maleic acid is hydrogenated in a first hydrogenation zone to produce a reaction product comprising succinic acid and unreacted hydrogen which is then supplied to a second hydrogenation zone, where succinic acid is converted to 1,4-butanediol, the temper atures of the feedstream comprising maleic acid and the first hydrogenation zone are controlled such that the temperature of mal  eic acid in the feedstream and the first hydrogenation zone does not exceed about 130 °C, thereby minimizing the corrosive effects of the maleic acid and prolonging reactor life and improving overall process economics.

Abstract: The invention relates to the construction of a synchronization sequence and a corresponding synchronization method for the transmission of burst signals. In order to speed up synchronization, the sequence is composed of two portions. The first portion, a dotting sequence, is similar to a cosine wave having a determined frequency (e.g. ++--++--++), the second portion is a pseudo-noise sequence (PN sequence. For synchronization, the frequency offset and possibly the phase offset and the clock pulse are determined using the first portion of the sequence (42). The second portion of the sequence is used as a training sequence and is utilized for alignment of the time-slot (word synchronization) and for determining the channel impulse response. A Viterbi decoder mounted downstream improves or tracks synchronization and estimation of the channel impulse response in the tracking phase (40).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une machine d'entraînement d'escalator qui comprend une poulie de sortie de moteur reliée à un moteur d'entraînement à travers un ensemble de réduction de courroie comportant une poulie de sortie principale. Une courroie d'entraînement s'étend de l'ensemble de réduction de courroie et est guidé le long de plusieurs poulies de guidage pour engager la chaîne des marches et actionner les plaques de roulement de l'escalator. La localisation d'un galet de pincement adjacent à la main courante, en outre, permet de pincer la courroie d'entraînement contre la main courante pour donner une force motrice à la main courante. La courroie d'entraînement entraîne ainsi de manière synchrone la main courante.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour enduire une bande métallique dans l'industrie automobile, aéronautique ou spatiale. La bande ou les sections de bande fabriquées selon ledit procédé sont d'abord enduites d'au moins une couche de protection anti-corrosion, puis d'au moins une couche polymère ressemblant à de la peinture. Après l'application de la couche de protection ou après l'application de la couche polymère, la bande métallique est découpée en sections. Ces sections de bande ainsi enduites sont alors façonnées, assemblées et/ou recouvertes d'au moins une (autre) couche ressemblant à de la peinture et/ou d'une couche de peinture. L'enduction avec un produit ressemblant à de la peinture est réalisée avec une dispersion aqueuse contenant, outre de l'eau, au moins une résine réticulant aux UV, hydrosoluble et/ou se dispersant dans l'eau, au moins une cire en tant qu'additif de transformation, au moins un photo-initiateur et au moins un inhibiteur de corrosion. Après avoir été enduit sur la surface métallique, le revêtement est séché et durci. On obtient ainsi une enduction qui, une fois durcie, a jusqu'à 10  mu m d'épaisseur et qui, sur une surface test, à un essai de pliage à la broche conformément à la norme DIN ISO 6860   sans déchirure de la surface de test   avec une broche de 3,2 mm à 38 mm de diamètre, ne présente pas de phénomène de corrosion > 5 %, lors d'un test en atmosphère d'essai avec eau de condensation selon DIN 50017 KFW durant 240 h, test effectué immédiatement après l'essai de pliage.

Abstract: An optical fiber splicing method capable of fully
reducing the splice loss at room temperature is provided.
In the optical fiber splicing method in accordance with the
present invention, respective end faces of optical fibers
are fused together in a splicing step (S101). In a condition
setting step (S102), a set value α 0  is set. Thereafter, a
heating step (S103), a measuring step (S104), and a
termination determining step (S105) are carried out
repeatedly. In the heating step, a region including the
fusion-spliced point is heated under a predetermined heating
condition. In the measuring step, splice loss is measured.
In the termination determining step, the splice loss α n 
measured in the measuring step and the set value α 0  set in
the condition setting step are compared with each other in
terms of magnitude. If the splice loss α n  is not greater
than the set value α 0 , then it is determined that the
alternation should be terminated, whereby the optical fiber
connecting operation is terminated.

Abstract: In a diesel engine, heavy EGR lowers a combustion temperature, which greatly
prolongs an ignition delay period and all fuel is injected within the ignition delay
period, thereby performing a low-temperature premixed combustion. A crank angle
from a fuel injection completion to an ignition start is made less than 15 degrees
by advancing a fuel injection timing and/or prolonging a fuel injection period. As a
result, an equivalent ratio distribution in a combustion chamber at an ignition start
is controlled such that an equivalent ratio in the vicinity of a cylinder center is
richer than in the vicinity of a cylinder wall and the equivalent ratio gradually
changes from the cylinder center to the cylinder wall.
